Hi all.
I can't seem to set admin rights or limited rights for the multiple users in the xmb menu on my ps3.
It seems that it is possible for any user to simply reset all security passwords by reseting to default settings; which, certainly would be immediately evident to any parent or owner, but is completely counter intuitive to the whole "security" options in general.

If anyone could verify wether this is possible or not it would be appreciated.
Thanx.

Hey thanx for the responce.
The way I see it though, ironically, there is already a security hole in the system. If it is possible to reset the p/w for any user accessing a system, then what is the point in securing that system in the first place?
I don't suppose I could convince you to elaborate, as it seems you know a bit about programing here. Do you meant to tell me that the more complicated a system's security programing, the more succeptable the system becomes, due to more, instead of less, holes? Can you please explain this to me? It seems, if you'll forgive the re-use of the term, counter-intuitive.
